  /**
   * A Tail Call Transformer
   *
   * @author     Erik Stenman, Iulian Dragos
   * @version    1.1
   *
   * What it does:
   * 

* Finds method calls in tail-position and replaces them with jumps. * A call is in a tail-position if it is the last instruction to be * executed in the body of a method. This is done by recursing over * the trees that may contain calls in tail-position (trees that can't * contain such calls are not transformed). However, they are not that * many. *

*

* Self-recursive calls in tail-position are replaced by jumps to a * label at the beginning of the method. As the JVM provides no way to * jump from a method to another one, non-recursive calls in * tail-position are not optimized. *

*

* A method call is self-recursive if it calls the current method and * the method is final (otherwise, it could * be a call to an overridden method in a subclass). Furthermore, If * the method has type parameters, the call must contain these * parameters as type arguments. Recursive calls on a different instance * are optimized. Since 'this' is not a local variable, a dummy local val * is added and used as a label parameter. The backend knows to load * the corresponding argument in the 'this' (local at index 0). This dummy local * is never used and should be cleand up by dead code elimination (when enabled). *

*

* This phase has been moved before pattern matching to catch more * of the common cases of tail recursive functions. This means that * more cases should be taken into account (like nested function, and * pattern cases). *

*

* If a method contains self-recursive calls, a label is added to at * the beginning of its body and the calls are replaced by jumps to * that label. *

*

* Assumes: Uncurry has been run already, and no multiple * parameter lists exit. *
